Vielha → Salardú: 36 km +1,238 m / 50% gravel · 50% pavement · 0% greenway / cycle lane
A short but very complete stage that concentrates all the essence of Aran: rivers, humid forests, waterfalls and great high mountain views. The route enters the Varradòs valley, one of the most spectacular in the Pyrenees, up to the Coll de Varradòs, at over 2,000 metres, and descends through the Vall d’Unhòla before reaching Salardú.
